I was showing out-of-town Buyers condominiums in Coconut Grove this past weekend. They were “wowed” by the options on South Bayshore Drive, home to some of the greatest views in all of Miami. Of course the buzz this year is all about Terra Group’s sparkling Grove at Grand Bay – two glass towers on the cutting edge of architecture. Ironically they will be replacing the Grand Bay Hotel, the half-pyramid shaped 5-Star hotel which was cutting edge in 1983 (does anyone remember Regine’s?).

In the months to come adding to the buzz will be the upcoming (yet unnamed) condominium project which will stand on the Coconut Grove Bank property – no doubt it to will be spectacular. But you know what? There are a lot of other golden opportunities overlooking our lovely Sailboat Bay!

Yacht Harbor and Grove Towers were the first ‘on the edge’ communities and still offer fantastic residences with wide Bay views; The Mutiny has short term renting and leasing opportunities not offered elsewhere ‘along the boulevard’; Grove Hill Towers is 20-years young and is as elegant and desirable as the day it was completed; The Ritz Carlton lives up to its world-class name – in beauty and amenities; and mouths are still dropped over Ugo Columbo’s uber nautical Grovenor House – there is nothing like it.
